Natalie's Score: 90/100

Wolf Blass first made 250 cases of the Grey Label Shiraz, but realized he could not earn a living based on such a small production of a premium-priced wine. Thus was born Yellow Label in 1966. It was created to be a crowd pleaser with the goal of quality, character and consistency, according to current winemaker Chris Matcher. Consistency is key as Yellow Label is designed to give consumers confidence that they are getting the same signature taste each time. That was the challenge to maintain when Yellow Label moved to regional selection of grapes for this vintage rather than widespread blending. Chris says that they achieve it through careful vineyard management and barrel selection. This Cabernet offers great value and attractive aromas of blackcurrant and cassis. Pair with a juicy steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of plums, dried cherries, black olives, and baking spices. Medium-plus acidity and a little silky tannin on the palate, with flavours of cherries and smoked meat. The mouth feel is light and silky. Quite a good showing for a wine with this size of production run. I'd pair this with roast turkey or lighter tomato based Italian dishes.
